Description
Anish Kapoor: Past, Present, Future is the first major American publication on this influential contemporary sculptor. Since emerging in London in the early 1980s, Anish Kapoor has created a remarkable body of work that blends modernist materiality with a fascination for form and space.
This book surveys Kapoor's work since 1979, focusing on sculptures and installations made since the early 1990s. With over ninety color images, three original essays, an extended interview, and selections from his sketchbooks, this publication confirms Anish Kapoor's position as a leading sculptor of our time.
Featuring notable works such as Past, Present, Future (2006), 1000 Names (1979-1980) and When I Am Pregnant (1992), the book offers American readers an opportunity to engage with Kapoor's extraordinary clarity, subtlety and power. Accompanying an exhibition at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art, this publication is a long-overdue introduction to Kapoor's art.
